We didn't go to a fair we pass through every year - fugg Christmas this year. I'll cook for our friends as usual, but I'm not even buying one present. We didn't go to our Union party last night and I'm staying away from all parties. I have four grand nieces and a grand nephew - all between three and eight. They shouldn't have to face this anytime, but good grief not a week from Christmas- they are what it's all about. A week out they should be looking for presents or heading for the mall with family.
